They acted as though the amnesty issue wasnt even an issue. They said that the President is going to do what hes going to do, and we are not going to get down in the mud with him. We are not going to engage, and what we are going to do is to talk about our positive solutions on jobs, the economy, education, and manufacturing, Bachmann said.
She added that each congressman who spoke reiterated that not engaging Obama and staying positive was a brilliant strategy. "We will not engage," she reiterated with disgust.
Bachmann, who was elected to Congress in 2006 and is ending her service this year, is stupefied by the Republican leadership not taking action or having a plan. While the country is talking about amnesty, and the president is taking unconstitutional actions, our leadership wants to change the subject and not engage, she said.
Bannon said he was stunned that, on the walk-up to a day that is going to go down as one of the most important days in constitutional history, there was no pre existing plan or course of action by the GOP. The Congresswoman asserts that Boehner and the leadership think that the smarter strategy is to not engage.
Earlier in the broadcast, co-host and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said that, after reading Breitbart News report on Friday about Republicans flying out of town after Obamas speech without devising a plan, is evidence that "the Republican establishment doesn't care about Obama passing executive amnesty.
Marlow mused, We're having this debate: should there be a lawsuit? Should there be impeachment? Should the government be shut down? What should we be doing?

Well, don't call it USIP. Maybe call it IPA - although I do sip an IPA sometimes during Summer.
Is IPA something like sweet tea?
All good questions to be asked as to why McConnell is even around.
Why would they engage? This is what Bonehead and McConnell want.
The premise was flawed. The premise assumed that an incumbent in a major leadership role could be beaten in a primary
"I think that Marron on FreeRepublic has our phones tapped."
The GOP is just rolling over with Obama’s power grab with amnesty. Now Obama knows he can get away with ruling by decree and will simply take even more power. In two years he could be dictator with little more than a whimper from the GOP
Um...I'm going to say yessss. Yes, exactly!
She really must be as dumb as the Rats say
That is the truth, so we have to begin building the alternative. We have a majority of Americans behind it, so what are we waiting for? It is all to clear that the Karl Roves, the Grover Norquists and the John Boheners and Yurtle McConnells of the Nation are shacking up with the Elites, leaving us out in the cold. I am sick of it.
You gotta be kidding! As strong as conservatives are nationally you just give up that easily? Why? Do you realize just how easily a local or regional race can be nationalized these days,its not rocket science.We can do it.But,if we don’t do it in the primaries we should just forget it as far as electing conservatives goes.
Have you ever heard of Eric Cantor?
It is a win for the GOPe because they get the amnesty they want without enraging their base.
The rest of us are screwed, but we don't matter. Nor does the nation or the constitution.
What a disappointment Bachmann has become!
This country will commit suicide, like all Republics before it.
AGreed.
It HAS to be an issue for them!! Do you advocate just sitting on their hands while our country is ruled by OBAMA of all people?!!!!
Despite my tagline, I’m no R. I can’t stand the way they just bend over and let the Dems have their way with them.
What a refreshing comment-—so full of common sense!
I keep reminding myself that conservative reinforcements are on the way. There is NOTHING that can be done in this lame duck session. If all McConnell does is manage to stonewall until Harry Reid is irrelevant, I say, More Power to Him!
